The house itself is a handmade Octagonal pole home including a myriad of unique décor pieces, including carvings of the Hindu Ramayana story. Pieces for the house have been brought in from all over the world, particularly due to Adrienne and her husband’s passion for travelling, featuring wall hangings from Namibia (Africa) to antique Indonesian furniture, the house has been crafted to bring the world to the tiny community to North Arm Cove. “We had the piece of land and were travelling in Zimbabwe. “We bought the tiles before we actually started building the house so there really are long stories behind each piece in the house,” Adrienne said of a set of tiles in one of the bathrooms. “It was that trip where we developed a passion for travelling and picking up unique items that make this house so special,” said Adrienne. In the 2016 Census it showed that North Arm Cove had a population of only 445 people, and Adrienne believes that having such a unique property invites many people to discover the natural beauty of the North Arm Cove area. Adrienne has also been given the title of ‘superhost’, which describes experienced hosts who provide a shining example for other hosts, and extraordinary experiences for guests. These hosts are monitored four times a year and are held to a high standard. By Tara CAMPBELL Adrienne Francis at the Hand Made House in North Arm Cove. Photo: Tara Campbell.
